2026 Souper Mudfest

The Old Town Merchants Association (OTMA) is excited to announce that Souper Mudfest 2026 will be held on Saturday, March 14, 2026. Each year, this special event brings together local artists and merchants: artists create unique soup bowls which are sold in Old Town, and visitors purchase a bowl and receive a wristband entitling them to soup samples from participating merchants. Artists are paid a fixed amount per bowl, merchants are reimbursed a fixed amount for soup, and any remaining proceeds after expenses go to OTMA. A portion of those proceeds will again be donated to a local charity.
For 2026, we’re building on last year’s success with a few exciting updates:
• VIP Friday Night Kick-Off: A new special event for VIP guests.
• Centralized Venue: We’re consolidating to one convenient location—Rebecca Hall at Main Street United Methodist Church.
• Enhanced Experience: Doubling volunteers at checkout to keep things smooth and welcoming.
• Freret Napoleon will be handling marketing
